Uh oh. Just as I got rid of ze Merrycans, ze owners of zat diamond mine decide to pay me a visit.
Since zey shot up most of my Cousin Hans population, zey agreed to help me create new ones as soon as I had negotiated zem.
And see, zey are already making up for zeir mistakes by chasing off ozer agents from my island. zat's what I like in zese people: zey are so eager to please.
When I have quiet moments, I concentrate on my new hobby, ze gardening. Here on ze front door are my two new pets, Heidi and Eva.
Zey eat illiterate agents and minions mostly.
Unfortunately I can't give zem as much time and love as I would like to. Ze plan calls me again and it's time to stop fooling around. To advance my plan, I have decided I need a DoomsDay Device(tm). I have heard zat ze Russians have a machine which would make ze task much more easy for my intellectually challenged minions, so zat seems like a logical next step, despite of me not knowing exactly what it is.
Stealing technology. Is zere a problem it can't solve?
Apparently zere is. Once ze minions, or what's left of zem anyway, bring ze machine back to ze laboratory, it dawns to us zat no one else knows what it is eizer.
So I need to send zem back to Siberia to bring me a scientist who knows what it is.
Sacrificing minions on seemingly useless missions. Is zere a problem it can't solve?
Ze scientist was surprisingly willing to come working for me. Fortunately, while zere seems to be shortage of everyzing in Russia, lack of scientists willing to defect is not one of zem.
Nor does zere seem to be shortage of weapons and soldiers willing to die for zeir country, as zere is already a platoon of zem sneaking around my island, obviously looking for ze scientist.
To avoid any unnecessary inconveniencies, I order Moko to lead the welcoming committee.
Ze defected scientist is already researching ze machine and is soon ready to tell me what it is.
Meanwhile an epic fight ensues...
And ends as soon as someone tells Ivan zere are girly men outside.
Once ze scientist has done his work and left his report on my table, he leaves my base.
My guards, however, offer an alternative zeory regarding ze lenght of his stay.
I may not have mentioned it in ze job interview, but I absolutely hate traitors...
But on ze ozer hand I admit even zey have some uses.
After reading ze report, ze conclusion seems simple. It's a machine and it does somezing. Since zat's how ze research works around here anyway, I have my science minions do ze rest.
While zey are busy, I decide to put zat empty crater to good use by building a rocket silo in zere. I have learned from ze past zat DoomsDay Devices(tm) are always shot into ze orbit wiz a huge rocket.
